| Internet Computer | Polygon | Ethereum Mainnet | SparkNet | DevilNet | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transaction processing time | Extremely fast, typically 1–2 seconds. Check current statistics | Typically low, usually 2–5 seconds due to high throughput and low block times. Check current statistics | Typically slower, often estimated in minutes, depending on transaction volume and node availability. Check current statistics | Typically low, 10-15 seconds. Check current statistics | Typically low, 14-21 seconds. |
| Transaction cost | Low-cost transactions. Storage is billed continuously, e.g. storing 1 GB on ICP costs about $5.3/year even if the smart contract is idle. | Very low (~$0.001–$0.01 per transaction), | High and variable (~$1–$50+ per transaction), depending on network congestion and gas prices. | Stable and zero (gas required for signing transactions is distributed automatically to newly registered addresses) | Stable and zero (gas required for signing transactions is distributed automatically to newly registered addresses) |
